PORTLAND, Ore. – October 13, 2008 – In its continued commitment to protecting businesses from more sophisticated forms of online fraud and abuse, fraud management solutions provider, iovation, will speak at this year’s ETRE 2008 conference in Stockholm, Sweden. iovation’s co-founder and vice president of business development, Jon Karl, will be part of the roundtable discussion, “Breaking Out of the Security Rat Race.” The session will cover security challenges wireless and mobile devices pose to security vendors, and what new approaches protect these growing networks. Other participants will include Mark Bregman, CTO of Symantec, and Natalya Kaspersky, president and CEO of Kaspersky Labs. The panel will be moderated by Red Herring CEO, Alex Vieux. The session will take place on Thursday, October 16, 2008, from 5:00-5:45 p.m. CEST, in Room A.
What:
As the Internet becomes ubiquitous, so does the need to provide security for the myriad devices that will be connected. Most consumers rarely give a second thought to the consequences of device theft, Bluetooth hacking, or the weak links in VoIP, Wi-Fi and instant messaging. Wireless and mobile networks pose new challenges to security vendors. Are we doomed to a permanent security arms race, with security companies and entrepreneurs playing catch-up with incrementally more complex hacks developed by an increasing number of criminal minds? Are there fundamentally new approaches that can confirm identities, identify new threats by behavior rather than signatures, and do a better job of protecting us? What will a secure Internet look like? What are the foundations that need to be put in place now, in order to prevent current security threats from spiraling out of control?
Who:
Jon Karl is co-founder and vice president of business development at iovation, a Portland, Oregon-based online fraud management company. An expert in the areas of Internet security and fraud prevention, Jon is a frequent speaker at industry trade shows, where he speaks on various topics including online fraud management, online privacy, and emerging technologies that protect online environments against fraud and abuse.
